I don't really care about scientific evidence here, or even evidence in general. You're never going to be able to provide me that via your own subjective experience, but I would've loved to see you describe in details what convinces you you're in touch with a grand higher power entity that is beyond your imagination.
You keep wanting me to come out with some bizarre, exciting experience I've had with God. Really, it has just come from a continuing study of many faiths and much debate and discussion with people like yourself, then realizing that the only way I would know God is to allow him to reveal himself to me. I figured that if God was real, and I sincerely sought him, then he would reveal himself to me. One night as I was agonizing over the guilt about leaving christianity and the inability to abandon the beliefs I had come to, I was suddenly filled with a feeling of peace and joy and heard the words: "Everything is going to be okay."
How did you determine that the cause of these feelings was god and not you? How did you investigate this experience to reach such a high degree of certainty about the cause? What was your method? That’s what I want to know.
